Answer: Option D — (A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV)
Detailed Solution
Habeas corpus literally means 'you may have the body': the court orders the detained person to be produced (III).
Res judicata bars re-trying a matter already decided (II); caveat emptor means 'let the buyer beware' (I); locus standi is the right to be heard or to bring a case (IV).
Only option D gives III, II, I, IV. Options A and C pair habeas corpus with 'buyer beware', which is caveat emptor.
Quick tip
Remember: Habeas Corpus = produce the body; Res Judicata = already decided; Caveat Emptor = buyer beware; Locus Standi = right to sue.
